Are you new to your town and wondering how trash and recycling works? The options for trash and recycling vary widely in municipalities throughout Central Massachusetts. Some towns have easily accessible locations with convenient hours for all your drop off needs, and then other towns require you to buy bags provided by the municipality–and everywhere in between. Central Mass is all over the place!
Thinking about that piece of furniture you brought with you that doesn’t actually fit in your home, or the decor that just doesn’t align with the look you’re going for? Or maybe you’ve been in your house forever and this is the spring that you’re going to do a big decluttering project!
If you need a dumpster, I encourage you to check my Recommended Professionals page and search the word dumpster for my local recommendations.
I’ve assembled below a list of cities in town throughout Central Massachusetts, and the trash and recycling options in each. Am I missing anything in this RESOURCE STORY? Please message me with any info you have, so I can always keep my CENTRAL MASS RESOURCE STORIES as current and relevant as possible! If you live in a city or town listed and have more links or details, please share!
